Top ten new recipe This recipe rocks. I have added it to my top ten. I will make this again for sure.
This was very good. I have never used fennel before and I was afraid because of the licorice smell. But the recipe was delicious!
So good! This is the first time I have ever used fennel and it is so tasty. I never would have thought to use it because of the licorice-like smell but the taste is so different after it's been cooked. Fennel isn't expensive but since this recipe only calls for the bulb I found another recipe which calls for the fronds (the feathery ends) so that I wouldn't have to waste the rest of it.The entire meal was delicious -- the only thing I did differently was I used some pre-cooked medium shrimp instead of raw jumbo but I doubt that it affected the end result. I will definitely make this recipe again!! Pros: Great taste Cons: none
Excellant! even with a substitution Made according to directions but am allergic to fennel so substituted chopped cabbage. Excellant sauce! yummy flavours. Will definately do again. Served with spinach parmesan cakes from this website.
I make this recipe along with the Butternut Squash Pilaf. It's delicious. I'm getting hungry just reading the recipe.
This is the most delicious meal I have ever had! Don't be deterred by the fennel - the end result tastes nothing like licorice. I highly recommend.
Clarifying instructions I read the recipe and was confused at step 3. It says to Transfer the shrimp to a plate. It goes on to say Add other ingredients to the pan and stir until the cheese begins to melt. In step 3 it says to serve the shrimp over the fennel mixture. My question was: what do I do with the lemon juice/pepper/feta? Since in step 2 the shrimp are placed on top of the fennel mixture and since the rest of the instruction doesn't mention adding the remaining ingredients to the fennel mixture I didn't know whether when the shrimp are removed so is the rest of the fennel mixture or whether you remove ONLY the shrimp. Looking at the photo it appears you remove ONLY the shrimp and add the remaining ingredients (lemon juice/pepper/feta) to the fennel mixture. It appears the shrimp merely steam over the fennel mixture and then are removed leaving everything else in the pan. When the shrimp are almost done (don't overcook -- they will continue to cook after removal due to carryover cooking) remove them (keep warm in foil) and proceed adding the remaining ingredients. When the cheese begins to melt plate the cheesy-fennel mixture and top with shrimp. Sorry if this is obvious but I cook a LOT and but for the photo could not tell what the instructions meant.
Very few ingredients and Fast! This is such a good recipe but I must admit that I did play with ingredients to make it go a bit farther. I added some leftover spaghetti noodles to the fennel and green onion and I added garlic as well....spaghetti came after the fennel onion and garlic had softened. I also added another hit of lemon juice and a bit of the feta brine to pop it. Very good. Pros: Easy Quick Prep
